How to uninstall ocenaudio on Mac
Save every edited audio file and make a backup before removing ocenaudio. Changes already written into an audio file survive an app uninstall, while unsaved edits do not become a backup by quitting.
Quit and remove the app
Finish playback and editing, quit ocenaudio, then move ocenaudio.app from Applications to the Trash. Keep recordings and exported audio. If you installed VST plug-ins for other audio apps, do not remove their shared folders with this editor.
Review the local data
In Finder, choose Go › Go to Folder and open each exact path below. Copy anything you need first, then move only the app-owned item you have decided to discard to the Trash. These locations come from the Homebrew removal list or the recorded local check; a missing location needs no cleanup.
| Location | What to keep or remove |
|---|---|
~/Library/Application Support/ocenaudio |
Support/settings data observed locally; inspect and copy before removal. |
~/Library/Caches/ocenaudio |
Cask-listed app cache; optional cleanup once the app has quit. |
Check the result
These commands only list the app and the locations discussed above. The app filename comes from the cask; adjust it if your official-download bundle has a different name.
ls -ld "/Applications/ocenaudio.app"
ls -ld "$HOME/Library/Application Support/ocenaudio"
ls -ld "$HOME/Library/Caches/ocenaudio"
An entry printed by ls still exists at that path. No such file or directory means that exact item is absent; Permission denied or Operation not permitted means the check could not establish its state. A retained data folder is expected if you chose to keep it. This check does not search every disk or cloud account.
If you installed it with Homebrew
Uninstall without running zap:
brew uninstall --cask ocenaudio
This removes Homebrew's managed app artifacts without applying its zap list. The ordinary uninstall stanza also asks the app to quit. A “not installed” error means Homebrew has no matching cask installation; use the Finder route for a manually copied app.
The live cask source names these additional zap targets:
~/Library/Application Support/ocenaudio~/Library/Caches/ocenaudio~/Library/Preferences/com.ocenaudio.plist~/Library/Saved Application State/com.ocenaudio.savedState
Some targets can hold settings or personal data. Keep the paths you still need and back them up before considering brew uninstall --cask --zap ocenaudio. That direct command applies the cask's entire zap list regardless of Mole's checkboxes. Mole uses zap only when its complete scope passes its selection and shared-data checks; unchecked, shared, out-of-boundary or unsupported targets suppress zap, while selected remnants use Mole's own removal path.
What Mole lists
Mole lists the lowercase ~/Library/Application Support/ocenaudio folder for review, not selected by default. Matching app caches and exact bundle preferences are selected by default. Audio projects and shared VST folders are separate decisions. These defaults describe the app-data option switched off. Opting into Remove data and settings with apps also selects eligible reviewed app data; shared stores and protected data retain their individual review or protection.
What this test covered
The official universal bundle and selected support, preference and cache entries were removed on 21 September 2026. The test did not include a personal audio project or VST library, so it does not prove their recovery or full plug-in removal. Homebrew instructions were checked against the current cask, but this record does not establish a Homebrew-managed uninstall or removal of every possible leftover.
